Governing Law: Official public holidays in Tuvalu are regukated by the Public Holidays (Amendment) Act 1990. • Regional Public Holidays: Each of the islands of Tuvalu has its own island-specific public holiday: • Jan-8: Nanumea (Te Po o Tefolaha) • Feb-11: Nukufetau (Te Aso O Tutasi) • Feb-16: Nuitao (Bongin the Ieka) • Apr-15: Nanumaga (Aho o te Fakavae) • May-16: Nukulaelae (Aso o te Tala Lei) • Sep-17: Niutao (Te Aso o te Setema) • Oct-21: Funafuti (Hurricane Bebe Day) • Nov-5: Vaitupu (Te Aso Fiafia) • Heir to the Throne Day (Prince of Wales' Birthday) is omitted from many online resources, but other reputable resources still include it. In any event, we have direct confirmation from the Law Revision Commissioner of the Government of Tuvalu, that the 1990 law on public holidays that specifies that this is a public holiday in Tuvalu has, to this date, not been amended or repealed. • Other Sources of Information For information not covered here, see the following specialized websites: ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (maps, demographic and economic statistics), Copp Clark (financial markets' trading hours, settlement holidays and currency non-clearing days), and the IFES Election Guide (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and past voter participation).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Tuvalu, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions. For more information, see our pages on the religious calendars of the world.
